Agros Edam (flamengo) cheese quarter 350g

Agros Edam (Flamengo) Cheese Quarter (350g) is a classic Portuguese semi-hard cheese. While "Flamengo" translates to "Flemish," this cheese is Portugal’s unique take on Dutch Edam. It is the most popular type of cheese in Portuguese households, known for its mild flavor and versatility.
